WEST DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- City officials say they plan to relocate a street intersection that will help protect a 158-year-old cemetery that sits in the middle of a road and has again been the site of a car crash.

An accident last week marked the latest of several times drivers have plowed into the circular cemetery, which is in the middle of a Dallas County intersection at 335th Street and X Avenue.

A driver, apparently surprised to come upon a cemetery in the middle of the road, barreled right through the grounds.
